Area forecast discussion, Jan 5, 4:45 AM PST, 10 hours 9 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
National Weather Service Eureka CA
445 AM PST Sun Jan 5 2025

.SYNOPSIS...Intermittent light rain is expected today in Del Norte
with additional periods of light rain tonight and early Monday along
the Redwood coast. Dry weather and warmer temperatures are expected
starting on Tuesday and lasting through much of the upcoming week.

&&

.DISCUSSION...Longwave ridging continues aloft today, while some
weak disturbances slipping over the ridge may bring light showers,
primarily to the mountains in Del Norte. The last of these is
expected to move through late tonight, with showers reaching further
south to Cape Mendocino, then rain quickly diminishes Monday
morning. Fog is expected again tonight in the valleys of Mendocino
county and possibly Lake county as well.

Monday afternoon the ridge aloft significantly amplifies. This will
clear out the high clouds and models are indicating quite a bit of
moisture around and fog development. Tuesday morning this fog may
take some time to clear and keep the northern inland valleys cooler.
Offshore flow starts to set up and this will help clear skies out
along the coast. The winds also start to turn more offshore Monday
night. These strengthen over Mendocino and especially Lake county
early Tuesday morning. The NAM is showing 925 mb winds of 30 to 35
kt over the ridges of eastern Lake county, although the NBM is
showing only a 10 to 20 percent chance of gusts exceeding 45 mph at
Cobb Mtn and around the Indian Valley Reservoir. Tuesday night into
Wednesday the high pressure continues to build and the offshore flow
strengthens. This should limit fog to just the more protected
valleys in the north and even these should clear fairly quickly. The
higher terrain is expected to see fairly low RH Wednesday morning
and possibly again Thursday morning. High pressure and offshore flow
is expected to persist over the region through the work week. An
upper level low moving into southern CA could enhance the offshore
flow. This could keep cloud away from the coast and much of the area
for the week. MKK

.AVIATION...Gusty southerly winds continue to decrease for coastal
terminals into this morning. Winds will remain between 10 to 15 kts
around Crescent City, however. Overcast skies with occasional light
rain could still occur this morning, especially around Del Norte.
County. IFR to LIFR conditions could be possible for certain coastal
areas this morning, with improving conditions later today and then
deteriorating conditions into this evening. Interior valley fog is
likely this morning as well.

&&

.MARINE...Southerly winds continue to decrease; however, gusts of 20
to 25 kts are still possible through this morning. A westerly swell
has gradually decayed, and significant wave heights are around 8-10
ft. These will continue to trend downward, though steep seas are
possible. South of the Cape, wave heights and winds are forecast to
continue downward with light southerly winds. High pressure fills in
Monday into Tuesday, bringing the return of elevated northerlies.
Significant wave heights are forecast to reach at least 10 ft again
as a larger westerly swell fills in Tuesday. JB
